Coronavirus or Covid-19 is an infectious disease caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus. It is a viral disease that turned into a pandemic in early 2020. The first known case was recorded in Wuhan, China, in December 2019. Coronavirus has multiple variants such as Delta and Omicron, and its most common symptoms are fever, chills and sore throat.
The virus spreads through liquid particles when the infected person coughs, sneezes or breathes – it has a high multiplication rate. Therefore, the world had taken measures to quarantine or isolate those infected. While the disease can be mild and recoverable, those older or with underlying medical conditions are more likely to be adversely affected. The disease caused according to WHO estimates 3 million deaths in 2020.
it is quite unfortunate that that most of the parties ruled our country since independence,never interested in the national welfare and wanted to retain the power for themselves..and the country went haywire; all our youngsters must be made to fall in line to build a disciplined society that is lacking; into a student ‘s job is to study and not to indulge in unwanted activities;reducing the voting age,and 5 year compulsory defence can help in long run.and our judciary must be tuned to contribute and help to regulate our administation currupt free ..
Can’t be certain of US. Some armament deals don’t really cement the partnership through all thick and thin. Until they part with cutting edge STRATEGIC undersea assets like Russia, urging us on to partner as QUAD in S China sea is very challenging.
The Quad countries have very large trade balance sheets with China. Particularly Australia Japan . Unless personally affected slim chances of ACTUAL Tactical partnership from them . A counter response at Sea needs to be solely on self support with contingencies planned.
Our valiant armed forces continue to modernize and recently integrated battle groups with air space support achieved. That is in vogue and US even China has restructured in those lines.
Strike corps notwithstanding I feel integrated battle groups supported by air power mechanised forces , air defence, aero space response et all created . This is in vogue world over . US even China restructured its system.
Point to note how much we depend on Quad ? If we venture out in S.China sea do we obtain support from neighborhood countries and Australia?It has strong business relations with China USA ? China imports much in Agricultural products .
How much can one depend on Western support ? Will they part with cutting edge items like STRATEGIC undersea assets ?
Before partnership need to achieve realistic capabilities.
Only then can share in Indo Pacific Vandemataram
One fails to understand Modi government’s China policy. Since the time Modi came to power in 2014 he has been cosying up to China and the so called summits Wuhan, Mamllapuram etc. have not bore any fruit so far as Indo- China relations are concerned.When in reality China always takes an adversarial stance against us in every international forum. They have trade surplus of $60 billion. They have firmly stood by Pakistan against us yet the government is so tight lipped about this whole issue of stand off in Ladakh. This government’s China policy is baffling.
Situation is difficult. We must not underestimate the enemy but should keep a picture of Hitler in mind when thinking about it. In cold war, the two blocks were ruled by ideology. Today it is all self interest. We must enter into a formal military treaty with U.S. Interdependence has more power than independence.
I agree with Shri Manish Tiwari.
World MUST contain this Chinese behavioral Virus effectively and Urgently.
The real truth of Kargil is coming out …………..India always need someone like Clinton in White House, not someone like Trump who rather than putting pressure is talking about mediation !!!
look who is talking! Giving unsolicited advise to a leader much taller than tallest of their midgets.
If the advice is sound, one should still heed it. Tall leader would only be taller if he does so.
Alas, a politician had to bring in politics in the last para of what was otherwise a good read.
Your statement is the essence of the Hubris that the author talks of affecting the Chinese leadership.
